Depends on how much hastle it is for you... >From my perspective, I don't test everything everywhere. I send out patches to fellow developpers who try them out, tell me what's wrong, and then I get all the fun of finding out what went wrong on their arch... and plaguing them to send copyright assignments if their changes are large enough :) My setup is getting better for this, as I now have mostly functional cross-toolchains :) Problem is that, before importing new stuff, I have to send out patches + check points out. Some of them don't have fast net access, so a snapshot is easier than cvs. If I'm the only one concerned, I can still get cvs source out and brew my own `snapshots' in a corner, but, assuming I'm not the only one who works that way, `generic' snapshots would make sense. -- Marc Espie |anime, sf, juggling, unicycle, acrobatics, comics... |AmigaOS, OpenBSD, C++, perl, Icon, PostScript... | `real programmers don't die, they just get out of beta'
